The long-term forecast continues to indicate a change from the current weather pattern with troughing on the west coast pulling cooler than normal weather in the Prairies during the last week of February. The positive news is that the storm track will move into the southern Prairies/northern U.S. during the period. This should bring much needed moisture to southern Alberta and southwestern Saskatchewan starting late next week. The cooler than normal temperatures will bring the Prairies back to reality after an extended period of mild weather.
